The Character Company is a long-term MENtorship program for young boys growing up with absent fathers or no positive male role models. Through weekly activities, adventures and camps, a group of Positive Male Role models (MENtors) walk alongside these boys as Social Fathers across South Africa, filling the gap of fatherlessness, instilling values and identity and bestowing masculinity for a generation of young boys growing up to be good men.
At The Character Company, we believe that only through intentional and practical MENtorship can we successfully address the issues that destroy our communities like GBV, corruption, substance abuse and suicide. Through our Men Around a Fire programme, we also engage men in safe spaces to become
vulnerable and surround themselves with men to whom they will be accountable so that they can make commitments to be better versions of themselves.
